Exemption Process

In cases where standard equipment does not fit safely, goalkeepers may request an exemption:

  1. Submit a Goalkeeper Equipment Exemption Form with height measurements and photos.
  2. The form must be approved by the Lacrosse Canada Safety & Equipment Review Committee.
  3. Approved exemptions must be carried by the goalkeeper at all games.
  4. The annual deadline for exemption requests is May 31.Important: There is no appeal process for exemption decisions.

It is Lacrosse Canada's intent to keep the goalkeepers in the category where they belong, however due to growth spurts and children who fall outside the standard growth chart, exemptions may be made by submitting a Request for Goalkeeper Equipment Exemption Form (available below).  An exemption may only be granted on the basis that it is necessary for player safety.

 

Exemption Approval Process

All exemptions must be approved by the Chair of the Lacrosse Canada Equipment Review Committee as per the Exemption Approval Process outlined below. The deadline to submit an exemption form for approval is annually on May 31. The decision made cannot be appealed.
 
1.     Download a Goalkeeper Equipment Exemption Form from the Lacrosse Canada website (below), fill it out and submit it, along with photos of the goalkeeper in question as described in the “How to measure goaltender height” below, to the local        association or club president.
2.     The local association or club president signs the form and forwards it to the Member Association (MA).
3.     The MA signs the form and forwards it to the Lacrosse Canada Office.
4.     The Lacrosse Canada Office forwards the form to the Chair of the Lacrosse Canada Equipment Review Committee, who will approve or deny the request and return the form to the Lacrosse Canada Office.
5.     The Lacrosse Canada Office will return the form to the individual who submitted it, as well as the representative MA and local association or club.
6.     If approved, the goaltender is required to carry the approved form with them to all games.
7.     If the process is not followed, the request will be denied.
8.     There is no appeal from the decision of the Chair of the Lacrosse Canada Equipment Review Committee.

Should you have any questions in regards to this process, please contact Wendy Dobbin (wendyd@lacrosse.ca)

  2. Goaltender must be in shorts, T-shirt and bare feet.

  4. A ruler is used to measure straight from the top of the athletes’ head.
